Reconstruction of the post-burn contracture is a complex task in plastic surgery. A burn patient treated traditionally only by dressings develops scar with contracture involving the burned region. The lip is a part of the face that is frequently affected by burn injury. Post-burn scar sequelae in this area often result in cosmetic disfigurement and psychological upset in patients. Microstomia p...

Varying surgical techniques, patient groups and results have been described regards the surgical treatment of post traumatic flexion contracture of the elbow. We present our experience using the limited lateral approach on patients with carefully defined contracture types.Surgical release of post-traumatic flexion contracture of the elbow was performed in 23 patients via a limited lateral appro...

Objectives: Spasticity and contracture in flexor muscles of the wrist may occur after stroke, especially in which early recovery did not appear. Splints are prescribed to reduce spasticity and to prevent contracture after stroke. Although there is a few research in this field. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of the Extension splint on function, spasticity, and range of motion of...

BACKGROUND Knee extension contracture is a disabling complication after fractures around the knee. In this study we aimed to study factors influencing the outcomes of quadricepsplasty for the treatment of traumatic knee extension contracture. We hypothesized that there is no factor influencing the final range of knee motion. METHODS In this retrospective study, we included 64 patients who und...

Prolonged walking with knee joint contracture causes changes in the functioning of muscles lower leg and foot. Objective. To study foot conditions using a human model. Methods. The gait analysis was performed OpenSim 4.0 program. modeling based on gait2394 following were studied: m. peroneus brevis, longus, tertius, tibialis posterior, anterium, flexor digitorum hallucis extensor longus. Result...

The goal of this study is to evaluate the functional results of the modified Judet quadricepsplasty for a knee extension contracture secondary to prolonged external fixation. This is a retrospective study of 31 patients with the diagnosis of an extraarticular knee extension contracture who had prolonged external fixation of the femur. Functional assessment was conducted after a minimum follow-u...

Introduction: Improving the postoperative knee motion in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has become a major goal for orthopaedic surgeons and joint prosthesis. The effect of the implant posterior condylar offset has recently generated much enthusiasm among researchers. [1] Some reports were concerned about the relationship between the posterior condylar offset and an extension gap. However, the p...
